1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly in the early stages of the disease. The multiplicity advantages of stem cell transplantation make it fascinating therapeutic strategy for many neurodegenerative diseases. We herein demonstrated that human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) mediated oxidative stress improvement and neuroreparative effects in in vitro AD models, playing critical roles in regulating the polarization of hyperreactive microglia cells and the recovery of damaged neurons. Importantly, these therapeutic effects were reflected in 10-month-old 3xTg-AD mice after a single transplantation of hDPSCs, with the treated mice showing significant improvement in cognitive function and neuropathological features. Mechanistically, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, as well as cognitive enhancements elicited by hDPSCs, were at least partially mediated by Nrf2 nuclear accumulation and downstream antioxidant enzymes expression through the activation of the AKT-GSK3β-Nrf2 signaling pathway. In conclusion, our findings corroborated the neuroprotective capacity of hDPSCs to reshape the neuropathological microenvironment in both in vitro and in vivo AD models, which may be a tremendous potential therapeutic candidate for Alzheimer's disease.
